like a glove. His support was excellent in
every respect. In the fifth act the Pan

Yesterday morning Mrs. James Frank,
of Twenty-siXth street, awoke and found
that her bright four-mOnths-old baby girl,
who had slept by her side, had died during
the night, unknown to her. 4 doctor was
summoned, but the baby was found to have
been dead several hours. Coroner Schultze
was notified and he held an inquest. From
the testimony Of the mother it seems the
child was subject to sudden attacks of
collie, and she supposed that it had been
seized with one ofthese attacks during the
night, which caused its death, and a YER
dict was rendered accordingly.

VIENNA, March 21.--A manifesto by
the Russian Constitutionalsts was pub

any connection with the recent attempt
on the life OF the Car. The manifesto
enumerates the sins of the present
regime, especially emphasizing that of
humbling itself before Prince Blsmark.
The three chief points of the party's
screed are: That consultative chambers
be summoned, the Car retaining the
right to decide with the majority or mi
nority as he pleases; that the press be
granted freedom OF speech, and that
political prisoners be amnestied.

UP IN ARMS.

The New classification Made by thu
Trunk Line Representative Bitterly
Opposed - The Baltimore and Ohio
Deal Alleged to Bave Been Consum-
mated-Three of the Interstate COM
merce Commission selected But Noe
Named.
NEW YORK, March 21.-The dry goods
trade held a meeting to-day, which was
prompted by notification from the trunk
line representatives that on and after
April l a new classification for dry goods
would go into effect. Resolutions were
adopted in which it was stated that the
new classification OF dry goods would in-
crease the cost of freight 90 per cent. ON
very important lines of low priced domes-I
tic fabrics. The trade had not been noti-
fed or consulted upon this question 50
vitality affecting their interest, and ID
was resolved to be the sense OF the
meeting that the proposed new clsSsif-
cation is unjust and unreasonable, con-
trary to the recommendation OF the New
York State Railroad Commission, and
against the general welfare of all sections,
OF the country.
THE BOX DISCRIMINATION.
The discriminating penalty of so pen
cent. embodied in the new classification
against the use of packing cases and in
favor of canvas covered bales, was de-
nounced as unreasonable and opposed to-
the spirit of the Interstate Commerce law.
A committee will act for the trade in pro-
tests TO the railroads, and If necessary to-
the interstate commission and Uni-
ted States Courts. Shippers ars
Instructed TO submit to the
new classification only under pro-
test. The Interstate Commission when
appointed will be aeked by the trade to
come to New York to examine the SUBJ
ject. The leading houses of the trade
were represented at the meeting, and theS
meeting was unanimous in Its determina-
tion
